Saggy breasts may be caused by pregnancy, childbirth, rapid weightloss or aging, and it can cause inconvenience due to saggy skin and derease in confidence in beauty, causing mental stress.

The normal location of a nipple is 4-5 cm above the bottom line of a breast, and the degree of sagginess can be categorized into three levels.

Stage B breast ptosis The nipple is drooped about 1-2cm from the line underneath the breast, but remains above the lowest Stage C level.
Stage C breast ptosis The nipple is facing downward because it is drooped more than 3cm from the line underneath the breast.

For breasts that are slightly saggy and small, correct can be achieved with breast augmentation. If general breast augmentation is not enough for correction, ‘dual plane’ method is more effective. ‘Dual-plane’ breast augmentation can be done through an areolar incision or inframammary fold approach. 2. For breasts with inadequate volume and moderate to severe ptosis, breast augmentation alone is not enough for correction, and additional mastopexy is required. Periareolar mastopexy, vertical mastopexy, or Wise/T-shape mastopexy can be done concurrently. 3. For large ptosis breast, mastopexy alone may be the best option to correct to ptosis [/av_textblock] [/av_four_fifth] [av_four_fifth first min_height=” vertical_alignment=” space=” custom_margin=” margin=’0px’ padding=’0px’ border=” border_color=” radius=’0px’ background_color=” src=” background_position=’top left’ background_repeat=’no-repeat’] [av_hr class=’invisible’ height=’20’ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’ custom_border=’av-border-thin’ custom_width=’50px’ custom_border_color=” custom_margin_top=’30px’ custom_margin_bottom=’30px’ icon_select=’yes’ custom_icon_color=” icon=’ue808′ font=’entypo-fontello’] [av_image src=’http://ckplasticsurgeryinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/1Breast-augmentation-w-lift_27.jpg’ attachment=’7662′ attachment_size=’full’ align=’left’ animation=’pop-up’ styling=” hover=” link=” target=” caption=” font_size=” appearance=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’][/av_image] [av_image src=’http://ckplasticsurgeryinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/1Breast-augmentation-w-lift_24.jpg’ attachment=’7661′ attachment_size=’full’ align=’left’ animation=’pop-up’ styling=” hover=” link=” target=” caption=” font_size=” appearance=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’][/av_image] [/av_four_fifth] [av_one_half first] [av_hr class=’invisible’ height=’20’ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’ custom_border=’av-border-thin’ custom_width=’50px’ custom_border_color=” custom_margin_top=’30px’ custom_margin_bottom=’30px’ icon_select=’yes’ custom_icon_color=” icon=’ue808′ font=’entypo-fontello’] [av_button label=’Click HereTo view a 3D animation of this procedure’ link=’manually,http://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/3d-animations.html’ link_target=” size=’small’ position=’left’ icon_select=’yes’ icon_hover=’aviaTBicon_hover’ icon=’ue826′ font=’entypo-fontello’ color=’silver’ custom_bg=’#eaeaea’ custom_font=’#828282′] [/av_one_half] [av_four_fifth first] [av_hr class=’default’ height=’50’ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’ custom_border=’av-border-thin’ custom_width=’50px’ custom_border_color=” custom_margin_top=’30px’ custom_margin_bottom=’30px’ icon_select=’yes’ custom_icon_color=” icon=’ue808′] [av_partner columns=’4′ heading=” size=’shop_thumbnail’ border=’av-border-deactivate’ type=’slider’ animation=’slide’ navigation=’arrows’ autoplay=’false’ interval=’5′] [av_partner_logo id=’4464′ hover=” link=’manually,http://www.plasticsurgery.org/’ linktitle=” link_target=”] [av_partner_logo id=’4461′ hover=” link=’manually,https://www.abplsurg.org/ModDefault.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f’ linktitle=” link_target=”] [av_partner_logo id=’4463′ hover=” link=’manually,http://www.alphaomegaalpha.org/’ linktitle=” link_target=”] [av_partner_logo id=’4462′ hover=” link=’manually,http://www.ama-assn.org/ama’ linktitle=” link_target=”] [/av_partner] [/av_four_fifth]Body > Breast Lift
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. New statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show breast lifts have grown 70%since 2000, outpacing breast implants 2-to-1. Sometimes the areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift will reduce this as well.
For breasts that are slightly saggy and small, correct can be achieved with breast augmentation. If general breast augmentation is not enough for correction, ‘dual plane’ method is more effective. ‘Dual-plane’ breast augmentation can be done through an areolar incision or inframammary fold approach.
For breasts with inadequate volume and moderate to severe ptosis, breast augmentation alone is not enough for correction, and additional mastopexy is required. Periareolar mastopexy, vertical mastopexy, or Wise/T-shape mastopexy can be done concurrently.
For large ptosis breast, mastopexy alone may be the best option to correct to ptosis.
